I feel good about cancelling my 365 subscription, and I will continue to feel good about switching to Linux when windows 10 hits end of life. Not giving this company another dime.
I know this is unsolicited advice, so feel free to ignore me, but I am an expert on these things so here's my take:
Before you switch to Linux, start switching your apps to ones that you know will work on Linux. It'll make the process much easier for ya! :-)
The only hurdle here is design software. I use Affinity mostly and it's great, but they don't have Linux apps. I did manage to get Affinity Designer running with Wine at one point, but it wasn't particularly stable.
